Raw Challenge has just become one of the cheapest (and absolute coolest) school holiday activities you can sign up to! The organisers know that times are tough for families, so they’ve slashed their April school holiday camps by 25%! How incredible is that! It’s now just $39.50 for a full morning of fun making it one of the cheapest school holiday camps around!

If you – or your kids – haven’t tried Raw Challenge, you absolutely need to add it to your bucket list OR, better yet, your April school holiday plans.

Across 3.5 fun-filled hours, your kids will conquer 25-30 EPIC obstacles on the Raw Challenge course. They’ll climb net rope bridges, balance across beams, crawl through tunnels, slip down slides and wade through mud pools. They will get muddy. They will get messy. They will have an ABSOLUTE BLAST!

And, even better, if you want, you can do it too!

We love a school holiday activity that gives families flexibility and options, and Raw Challenge delivers it in bucketloads.

At Raw Challenge’s school holiday events, you have three options:
+ Drop your kids and run – they’ll be supervised just like a regular camp.
+ Stay ‘n’ play and join in on the fun.
+ Walk, watch and cheer from the sideline.

How awesome is that!

Yep, parents, you can join in on the fun too! If you’re that parent who sits on the sideline forlornly watching your kids and wishing you could join in the fun too (that’s totally us by the way), then you’ll love this news: parents, YOU, too, can do the course! There’s no pressure to stay, but the option is there for the parents who love to be involved. Plus, just quietly, it’s a great opportunity to tackle the awesome course with far fewer crowds than attend their regular events.

Plus, the options keep coming. If you’re the type of parent who loves watching your kids have fun, but you’re not so into the idea of traipsing through mud yourself, then there’s an option for you, too. Happy days! You can stay with your child and walk the course next to them. Please note that you’ll need to still fill in a waiver to walk around the course (and just quietly, I wouldn’t be wearing your heels or favourite chinos as chances are you’ll end up a little dirty yourself).

People attending get 2 hours on the Raw Challenge WET course before having lunch (which is provided) and doing laps of the inflatable slide!
